Why didn't they just lower the allowed bitrates in Korea? That seems like a more reasonable option than just totally exiting.

They already did that. 720. No one really wants to watch lower than that.

because lowering quality like that creates poor people
and it's literally a kind of devolution, it's sickening
just kidding, I don't think they care about people

I think that people that talk like this need to get a sense of perspective and perhaps reserve such vitriolic and dramatic language for actual problems instead of conversations about video resolution.

actually, my argument is against digital rights management meaning digital exclusive property
I'm aware that's a bit of a leap to get from "lowering quality" to "drm sucks and is a terrible idea", but as I see things, drm defeats the purpose of having an internet
and it is an even bigger jump (at least 16-bits? ahaha) to understand the connection between twich and south korea (who pays for the bits?)
it's remarkable how you critizice my 'lack of perspective', because your comment requires that I narrow my perspective enought that I can fill in the gaps in my own opinion such a way that you get what I'm trying to say
